....this really pissed me off

During an interview with Fox News' Sean Hannity on Thursday evening, former President Donald Trump attacked the Haitian migrants who recently sheltered at the U.S. border — and suggested that the mostly Black migrants are going to spread AIDS into the United States.

"You know, there's one other thing that nobody talks about," said Trump. "So we have hundreds of thousands of people flowing in from Haiti. Haiti has a tremendous AIDS problem. AIDS is a step beyond, AIDS is a real bad problem. So hundreds of thousands of people are coming into our country, and if you look at the stats, if you look at the numbers, if you just take a look at what's happening in Haiti, a tremendous problem with AIDS, many of those people will probably have AIDS, and they're coming into our country.

snip"Cohn made headlines going after “homosexuals” and “perverts” in the federal government — but around his friends, he made no secret of being gay.
Tyrnauer makes clear that Cohn brought male lovers to Republican events, and no one uttered a word. Even a 1986 “60 Minutes” segment danced around the question of whether he was gay. This is unimaginable now, with dozens of publications and websites vying to out a homophobic, closeted gay person."

More there.
